I had kept this article in my articles page for about close to two weeks and I am just now deeming it fit for publication.
Without a doubt, all values being constant, faith works wonders. Faith played a staggering role in the following biblical events:
With Faith, Abel offered to God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain.
With Faith, Noah prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by which he condemned this world, and became heir of the righteousness.
With Faith, Abraham left his hometown to a town God promised to show him without doubting.
With Faith, He sorjourned in the land of promise; a strange country.
With Faith, Abraham and Sarah gave birth to Isaac at a very old age.
With Faith, Abraham hearkened to God's voice which told him to sacrifice Isaac( The child God gave him at an old age).
With Faith, Moses was hidden for 3 good months after his birth, and the midwives including his mother, weren't afraid of the King's command.
With Faith, the walls of Jericho fell down, after 7 days of encompassing it.
With Faith, Joshua commanded the sun to stand still and so also not allowing the night until they were done fighting a war.
With Faith, Job's lost possession was returned by God in multiple folds.
With Faith, Hannah gave birth to Samuel after years of bareness and years of being made a laughing stock by her husband's other wife
With Faith, Jehoshaphat prayed to God asking him to prolong his life after being informed of his imminent death.
With Faith, David fought and overcame Goliath despite clearly being an underdog.
With Faith, Bartholomew the blind received his sight in the temple.
With Faith, Jabez re-wrote his destiny from being a pauper to a rich personality.
With Faith, Paul and Silas were set free from prison only by singing.
With Faith, Jesus completed his assignment on earth, without for once querying the reason for being sent.
With Faith, the disciples of Jesus prayed in the temple in order to receive the Holy Spirit Jesus promised to send.
What then is Faith ?
Faith according to the book of Hebrews chapter 11 vs 1, which says:
"Faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen".
Faith is capable of changing a person's life from bad to best just as the story of Jabez illustrates.
Abraham: The Father of Faith
Our forefathers portrayed and exemplified that faith is quintessential to working with God. The headline maker and which in all sincerity and considering the modern day factors, nobody might ever match him in terms of showing Faith is our father Abraham.
He was a faithful man to God, he always cooperated with him, never argued or question God. He is a real example to us if we are to earn rewards of Faith.
